“- If you only knew how pretty you are!... Pretend you are playing! - stop it.. DO - You don't love me!...SO - I'll' always be yours. ... MI,” plate 6 from Les Musiciens De Paris 1841

" - If you only knew how pretty you are!... Pretend you are playing! - stop it.. DO - You don't love me!...SO - I'll' always be yours. ... MI," plate 6 from *Les Musiciens De Paris* is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prolific French artist known for his satirical social commentary, dating back to 1841. The image depicts a group of musicians in a room, with the focus on a young woman playing the piano, likely a pianist seeking a patron. The caption underneath highlights the artist's focus on capturing the social dynamics between the characters and using humor to comment on societal attitudes. This work is a prime example of Daumier's signature style of *Realism* through the use of detailed and relatable characters, often depicting the everyday lives and struggles of the working class.
